【 摘 要 】

At present, multidrug resistance of bacteria is a serious concern for clinicians, as most conventionalantibiotics fail to show actions against MDR strains. The incidence of infection with MDR strains isincreasing day by day, often with fatal outcomes. This study mainly centered on the antibacterial effect ofethanol extract of the seed coat of Sterculia foetida, for its possible use in MDR bacterial infections if founduseful. Our study indicated that it is significantly effective as an antimicrobial agent against MDR bacteriawith MIC values of the crude extract varying from 0.625 to 1.25 mg/ml. Thus this study confirms theeffectiveness of this extract against bacterial drug resistance.
